I'm making some dolls as gifts and I suddenly needed skin-toned flannel to make the bodies. However, the only flannel I've got here at home is white... and there's metres and metres of it. So I thought I might try dyeing it with tea bags — and since the whole experience worked out fine, I'm going to share it with you. The process is quite intuitive: toss two or three tea bags into a large bowl, pour boiling water on them, submerge the fabric for a few minutes and stir it with a wooden spoon (so that the colour is well distributed), rinse it under the tap until the water runs clear, hang it out to dry, iron it. The difference in colour is subtle but perfect for the purpose in mind.
